v8 swap idea
I just put a low mileage engine in my car so this project would be far off if it ever did happen. Anyway ive been tossing around the idea of a lt1/ls1 swap into the svx. Esp with gas the way it is its possible to find lt1/t-56 for under 3 grand and ls1/t-56 for under 4 grand. Im thinking an R230 rear from a 300zx TT and a custom driveshaft. motor mounts and tranny x-member would have to be custom. Universal autometer gauges for the cluster. Of course AWD would be lost but 250rwhp with a stock lt1 would be nice and we all know about the potential.
Id like to hear everyones opinions. The 4k or so it would cost me to put in a sti 6-speed has me a little naseous and looking for another option. And I want a manual that would hold a decent amount of power and be able to keep the amazing looks and comfort of my SVX
